Measurements taken by the magnetometers aboard Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) during aerobraking have provided the most spatially complete mapping of the radial magnetic field (Br) in the Mars North Polar Region (NPR) available to date. The subsequent map made of this complete coverage depicts an anomalous region of relatively strong field intensity (approx. +/- 40nT) in addition to the more isotropically distributed regions of (approx. +/- lOnT). This analysis explores the possible connection between liquid water environments in the NPR and reinforcement of magnetized regions. Additional information is contained in original extended abstract.
